"Weird Al" Yankovic Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mum mum mum muh
Oh whoa oh oh oh
Can't read my, can't read my
No, he can't read-a my polka face
(She's got to love nobody)
Can't read my, can't read my
No he can't read-a my polka face
(She's got to love nobody)
P-p-p-polka face p-p-polka face (Mum mum mum muh)
P-p-p-polka face p-p-polka face, hey
Womanizer, woman-womanizer, you're a womanizer
Oh, womanizer, oh, you're a womanizer baby
You, you, you are
You, you, you are
Womanizer, womanizer, womanizer
(Womanizer)
Boy don't try to front
I,I know just what you are (are are)
Boy don't try to front
I,I know just what you are (are are)
You say I'm crazy
I got your crazy
You're nothing but a
Womanizer
You spin my head right round, right round
When you go down, when you go down down
You spin my head right round, right round
When you go down, when you go down
Day and night
The lonely stoner seems to free his mind at night
He's all alone through the day and night
The lonely loner seems to free his mind at night
At, at, at night
It's a quarter after one, I'm a little drunk and I need you now
Said I wouldn't call but I've lost all control and I need you now
And I don't know how I can do without
I just need you now
And I was like baby baby baby
Baby baby baby
Baby baby baby
I thought you'd always be mine
So, so what, I'm still a rock star
I got my rock moves and I don't need you
And guess what, I'm havin' more fun
And now that we're done, I'm gonna show you tonight
I'm alright, I'm just fine and you're a tool
So, so what, I am a rock star
I got my rock moves and I don't want you tonight
I kissed a girl and I liked it,
The taste of her cherry chapstick
I kissed a girl just to try it,
I hope my boyfriend don't mind it
It felt so wrong, it felt so right,
Don't mean I'm in love tonight
I kissed a girl and I liked it, I liked it
And I'd like to make myself believe
That planet earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
Blame it on the goose, gotcha feeling loose
Blame it on the 'tron, catch me in the zone
Blame it on the a-a-a-a-a-alcohol
Blame it on the a-a-a-a-a-alcohol
Blame it on the vodka, blame it on the Henny
Blame it on the blue tap, got you feeling dizzy
Blame it on the a-a-a-a-a-alcohol
Blame it on the a-a-a-a-a-alcohol
Shawty's like a melody in my head
That I can't keep out
Got me singin' like
Na na na na everyday
It's like my iPod stuck on replay
Stuck on replay
Stuck on replay
Replay
Replay-ay-ay-ay
Baby, are you down, down, down, down, down?
Baby are you down?
I'm only gonna break break your break break your heart
I'm only gonna break break your break break your heart
I'm only gonna break break your break break your heart
I'm only gonna break your heart
Don't stop, making pop
DJ blow my speakers up
Tonight, I'mma fight
Till we see the sun light
Tick tock, on the clock
But the polka don't stop (no)
Yodel-yodel-lady-hoo
Yodel-yodel-lady-hoo
P-p-p-polka face p-p-polka face (mum mum mum mah)
P-p-p-polka face p-p-polka face
Oh no you can't read my p-p-polka face
Talk about my polka face
P-p-p-polka face
"Weird Al" Yankovic's song Polka Face is a medley of pop songs that are rewritten to fit within a polka arrangement. The song starts with snippets from Lady Gaga's "Poker Face" and includes other songs like Britney Spears' "Womanizer," Ke$ha's "Tik Tok," and Katy Perry's "I Kissed a Girl." The lyrics in the song are a mix of the original lyrics from the pop songs and new lyrics written by Yankovic to fit within the polka arrangement.
The chorus in "Poker Face" is referenced in the start of the first verse. Yankovic then moves on to Britney Spears' "Womanizer," in which Yankovic sings about a man who is a womanizer and tries to front like he is not. The song then shifts to Flo Rida's song "Right Round" in which Yankovic sings about a "lonely stoner" who is alone day and night. Yankovic then briefly sings parts of Lady Antebellum's song "Need You Now." Yankovic then moves on to Justin Bieber's song "Baby" and P!nk's song "So What," which is about moving on after a breakup. The medley then goes into Katy Perry's song "I Kissed a Girl," in which Yankovic sings about kissing a girl and wondering if her boyfriend will mind. Finally, Yankovic ends with the chorus of the hit song "Replay" by Iyaz.

@maximilianolopez5743
I love how the concept "pick a bunch of pop songs and make them sound silly" resulted the greatest musical mashup of all times
@sophiet1576
Weird Al invented the polka mash up. He's been making them since 1979.
@maximilianolopez5743
@Sophie T ok sorry this is the literal first all song that i heard, now i know better
@maximilianolopez5743
@Sophie T also you can't deny that it does sound silly
@zackbuildit88
Polka mashup exquisite
@user-rc9rf6xp4t
There's literally one where he made metal songs sillys
@UTMG
Man, Weird Al can make anything sound good. I just want all of the covers as their own separate songs now.
